INDIANAPOLIS, IN - The Indianapolis Indians (41-24) broke a 2-2 tie with a run in the fifth and added another in the sixth for a 4-2 win over the Gwinnett Braves (30-32) Sunday afternoon in the finale of the four-game series at Victory Field.

With the score at 2-2, the Indians took the lead in the bottom of the fifth as Gustavo Nunez dribbled a one-out infield single to short, stole second and third base and scored on a wild pitch by right-hander Cody Martin for a 3-2 lead.

A costly miscue by G-Braves' second baseman Jose Peraza led to the Indians taking the first lead. In the bottom of the first against Martin, Indians' lead-off batter Hanson hit a sharp ground ball to Peraza who fielded the ball, but made a wild throw to first enabling Hanson to move to second.

Brent Morel followed with a long double to left-center, scoring Decker from first for a 2-0 lead.
